A nine-year-old girl and her mother are still in hospital, three days after a car crash which killed her father and teenage brother. Ethan Sarkar, 14, and his father Derek, 46, from Birmingham, died when their Volkswagen Golf collided head-on with a Volvo near East Cowick, East Yorkshire, on Saturday. The driver of the Volvo, Sheila Stavert-Lee, 70, from Wigginton, near York, was also killed.

Mr Sarkar's wife, Karen, 43, and daughter, Abbie, were taken by air ambulance to Leeds General Infirmary. The hospital has described Mrs Sarkar's condition as "poorly" and say Abbie is"stable".

Police said it appeared that Mrs Stavert-Lee's car crossed on to the wrong side of the carriageway, into the path of the oncoming Golf.
